Catching I Bruce Wayne

XXXV

Skylar yawned loudly as she walked through the halls of the Wayne Manor. She smelled horrible, there was baby vomit all over her and she hadn't slept properly for the last week. All she wanted was a hot long shower and a decent sleep. The baby was amazing and she loved being a mother but all those other things proved to be a challenge for her.

When she walked into the room she froze in her place. She knew Bruce would look after the baby while she got something to eat but she didn't expect both of them to pass out in the bed. Bruce was half leaning on the bed's head and their baby was on his chest. One of his hands was supporting the baby.

It was so adorable. And Skylar was still so hormonal and emotional the scene before her made her teary. She took out her phone and snapped a picture of the two of them. Seeing them like that suddenly made her forget all of the things she was complaining to herself about a second ago. She didn't care she'd be covered in baby vomit, couldn't sleep or shower as long as her family was happy, peaceful, and together.

Skylar jerked awake from her nap. Tears were on her eyes and she burst into crying. Lakeisha came by her side immediately and embraced her. Skylar cried into her shoulder. " I can't take this anymore, I'm afraid," she sobbed.

Lakeisha was gentle with her, she played with her hair and wiped her tears away. " I don't want to have my baby here, I want to be with my family. I don't want them to take my baby away from me. I can't be away from my baby. But I can't get out of here, I can't contact anyone. I don't want to die in here,"

She continued crying and sobbing uncontrollably for a few minutes. Lakeisha was like a mother calming down her own child. When Skylar finally stopped the sobs and wiped her tears she smiled at her.

" I go bring your lunch," Lakeisha said. That was the first time Skylar properly heard her voice. She wasn't hungry right now but Lakeisha gave her a look that said that she needed to eat.

A few minutes later Talia walked in. " What do you want?" Skylar glared at her while sitting up and more comfortably on the bed. " Don't get all bitchy on me, I'm here to do you a favor," Talia responded.

Skylar cocked an eyebrow at her. " Out of the goodness in your heart?" she smirked. Talia chuckled, leaning on one of the spikes at the end of the bed. " Sure, you could say that," she replied.

" Look, I felt bad. Okay? I'm still human and still have emotions. So, I'll do you a favor. Here," she said and handed Skylar an envelope. Skylar looked at it and then back to Talia. " What am I supposed to do with them exactly?"

Talia shrugged. " Inside are a pen and paper. Write a letter. To your baby, Bruce... Whoever you want. I can't promise they'll receive it but I'll do my best," she said. Skylar furrowed her brows. " Why? You're the whole reason I'll apparently be dead after I give birth to my child,"

" Not the only reason," Talia snickered and left the room. Skylar looked at the piece of paper and the pen. Writing that letter would permanently mark that she had lost her faith in Bruce being able to find and rescue her. Mark that she would be accepting that she was going to die here.

She put the envelope aside and took a deep breath. Not yet, she still had fight left in her.

It had been two days. Skylar was miserable. Yesterday Ra's al Ghul came to her room and told her that they brought a doctor for her when she got in labor. Everyone knew that it was coming soon, any minute now.

Lakeisha told her that there weren't anywhere close to the island, it had been conquered by Ra's in the 17th century and that he had enslaved the natives of the island, that they were completely shut off from the outside world. Even if there were a piece of technology it was out of the sights of the servants.
